This reverse level accommodation offers three stylish bedrooms where you can look forward to sinking into either the super kingsize bed or one of the kingsize beds after a long day at the beach. There is also the flexibility to adapt two beds into singles upon request.
Start your morning with the ease of knowing you can enjoy one of the two en-suite shower rooms or family bathroom so everyone can take their time. As you go upstairs you will be blown away with the open plan living accommodation where you can open the bi-fold doors letting in an abundance of light. Outside on the balcony there is ample seating perfect for socializing together. Before retiring for the evening, you can jump into the 6 seater Jacuzzi or enjoy the enclosed sun-trap garden where guests can relax and unwind.
Westward Ho! beach, just a short stroll away, has everything you need from rock pooling, surfing or flying kites, and the village itself has an array of restaurants, bars, shops, cafés and amusements. Nearby, Bideford provides both a pannier and open-air market and from the pretty quay you can enjoy a trip to Lundy Island on the famous Oldenburg. Other attractions in the area include the fishing villages of Appledore and Clovelly, Instow, Hartland Abbey, Tapeley Park, The Big Sheep, The Milky Way, Royal North Devon Golf Club and dog friendly beaches. If you still have enough energy after exploring the area why not use the private access from the resort to enjoy the amazing views across over the South West Coast Path and walks across the Burrows.

A really great place for a short break with family or friends. Spotlessly clean, comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen and spacious open-plan entertaining and socialising area. Highly recommended - would definitely stay again.

The house is situated close to the beach where we enjoyed some lovely walks with the dogs.
The house is situated close to the beach where we enjoyed some lovely walks with the dogs. The house is well laid out with the benefit of the living area situated on the upper floor enabling excellent views of the surrounding area. If you enjoy walking on the vast beaches this is a great location.

We spent two weeks in Black Seahorse late Sept/early Oct and had a lovely holiday.
We spent two weeks in Black Seahorse late Sept/early Oct and had a lovely holiday. The house is clean and comfortable, situated on a modern estate of mostly holiday homes which is immaculately kept and was very quiet. Weather was a blessing and the balcony has plenty of sun, with views onto a green area and glimpses of the sea. Hot tub was perfect for a quiet unwind looking up at the view. Even saw the Northern Lights on our last night, which was very special.We were aware that it’s an “upside down†house and as we expected, there is no loo on the first floor which is the open plan living area. We had thought this might be tricky for our less sprightly party members, but the handrail on the stairs actually made them easy enough to navigate. In terms of practicalities, we organised a Tesco delivery and there is an Express which is walking distance too. We have a little dog so we eat in, so this is always useful. Location wise, it’s a very short drive to our favourite haunts of Appledore, Instow and slightly longer to Woolacombe, Lynmouth, Hartland and South Molton for the pannier market. We didn’t find a dog friendly 5 minute walk to the beach, but Westward Ho! itself is approx 20 minutes.The only negative comments I have, which are intended to be helpful, is that the pots and pans have been well used and are ready to be replaced with new ones. Crockery, cutlery and glassware is spotless. Also, we ordered a shower mat from Amazon because of our particular needs - whether others might find one handy could be something to consider.Overall, a great holiday and our thanks to the owner for letting their lovely property.
